“She can’t get that image out of her head,” Breonna Purse said Wednesday.
She was speaking of Jamichael “Tyree” Eddins’ mother, who told Purse she was in the house when her son was shot and killed Tuesday evening in the 1400 block of Carousel Road in East Chattanooga.
Eddins, 24, suffered multiple gunshot wounds and had already died by the time police arrived. Randall Davenport, 28, was also injured. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment of a single, minor gunshot wound to his side.
Davenport told police Eddins had a firearm but threw it on the ground in an effort to have a fist fight with a man named Christopher Turner, 26.
Turner then pulled out a large firearm, and Davenport tried to stop him but was shot by Turner instead, court documents state. After Davenport was shot, Eddins tried to run but fell down. That’s when Davenport said “he watched Mr. Turner stand over Mr. Eddins and fire rounds into Mr. Eddins,” according to court documents.
